The Family Compact is the epithet applied to an oligarchic group of men who exercised most of the political and judicial power in Upper Canada from the 1810s to the 1840s it was noted for its conservatism and opposition to democracy the uniting factors amongst the Compact were its loyalist tradition hierarchical class structure and adherence to the established Anglican Church Leaders such as John Beverley Robinson and John Strachan proclaimed it an ideal government especially as contrasted with the rowdy democracy in the nearby United States the Family Compact emerged from the War of 1812 and collapsed in the aftermath of the Rebellions of 1837 vte; 2.6 Subway system Al Ashraf Islamic School People celebrating the incorporation of Toronto in 1834 the Town of York was incorporated as the new City of Toronto The town was incorporated on March 6 1834 reverting to the name of "Toronto" to distinguish it from New York City as well as about a dozen other localities named 'York' in the province (including York County in which Toronto was situated) and to disassociate itself from the negative connotation of dirty Little York a common nickname for the town by its residents William Lyon Mackenzie was its first mayor The new Reform-dominated municipal council quickly set to work to correct the problems left unchecked by the old Court of Quarter Sessions Unsurprisingly for "Muddy York" the new civic corporation made roads a priority This ambitious road improvement scheme put the new council in a difficult position; good roads were expensive yet the incorporation bill had limited the ability of the council to raise taxes An inequitable taxation system placed an unfair burden on the poorer members of the community Mackenzie decided to take the matter directly to the citizens and called a public meeting at the Market Square on July 29 1834 "for six that being the hour at which the Mechanicks and labouring classes can most conveniently attend without breaking on a day's labour." Mackenzie met with organized resistance as the newly resurrected "British Constitutional Society" with William H Draper as president Tory aldermen Carfrae Monro and Denison as vice-presidents and common councilman and newspaper publisher George Gurnett as secretary met the night before and "from 150 to 200 of the most respectable portion of the community assembled and unanimously resolved to meet the Mayor upon his own invitation." Sheriff William Jarvis took over the meeting and interrupted Mayor Mackenzie "to propose to the Meeting a vote of censure on his conduct as Mayor." in the resulting pandemonium the two sides agreed that they would hold a second meeting the next day In 1837 a revolutionary insurrection was crushed by British authorities and Canadian volunteer units at Montgomery's Tavern on Yonge Street The Tories called the meeting for three in the afternoon so that the working class "mechanics" would not be able to attend the inability of the mechanics to attend was their saving grace for the meeting ended in a terrible tragedy when the packed gallery overlooking Market Square collapsed pitching the onlookers into the butcher's stalls below killing four and injuring dozens the Tory press immediately placed the blame on Mackenzie even though he didn't attend the Toronto mechanics ironically spared the carnage because of the hour at which the meeting was appointed did not appear to be swayed by the Tory press in the October 1834 provincial elections Mackenzie was overwhelmingly elected in the second riding of York; Sheriff William Jarvis running in the city of Toronto lost to reformer James Edward Small by the slim margin of 252 to 260 votes Toronto was the site of the key events of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837 led by Mackenzie In 1841 the first gas street lamps appeared in Toronto Over 100 were installed that year in time for author Charles Dickens' visit in May 1842 Dickens described Toronto as "full of life motion business and improvement the streets are well-paved and lighted with gas." Dickens was on a North American tour View of Toronto looking west from King and Jarvis in 1845 the buildings right of the trees were later destroyed in the Great Fire of 1849 During the Typhus epidemic of 1847 863 Irish immigrants died of typhus at fever sheds built at the Toronto Hospital at the northwest corner of King Street and John Street the epidemic also killed the first Bishop of Toronto Michael Power while providing care and ministering to Irish immigrants fleeing the Great Famine The April 7 1849 Cathedral Fire destroyed the "Market Block" north of Market Square and St Lawrence Market as well as the first St James' Cathedral and a portion of Toronto's first City Hall While Toronto had a firefighting brigade and two fire halls the force could not stop the large fire and many businesses were lost a period of rebuilding followed After the Upper Canada Rebellion resentments between the ruling factions of the Family Compact and the Reform elements in Toronto continued as Irish and other Catholics migrated to Toronto and became a larger part of the population the Orange Order representing Protestant elements loyal to the British Crown fought to keep control of the ruling government and civil services the police constabulary and the fire departments were controlled through patronage and were under Orange control Orange elements were known to use violence against Catholics and Reformers and were immune to prosecution it would not be until the 20th Century that Toronto would have its first Catholic mayor Latter 19th century. ! .

. . The Distillery District holds the largest collection of preserved Victorian industrial architecture in North America In the 1800s a thriving industrial area developed around Toronto Harbour and lower Don River mouth linked by rail and water to Canada and the United States Examples included the Gooderham and Worts Distillery Canadian Malting Company the Toronto Rolling Mills the Union Stockyards and the Davies pork processing facility (the inspiration for the "Hogtown" nickname) This industrial area expanded west along the harbour and rail lines and was supplemented by the infilling of the marshlands on the east side of the harbour to create the Port Lands a garment industry developed along lower Spadina Avenue the "Fashion District" Beginning in the late 19th century industrial areas were set up on the outskirts such as West Toronto/The Junction where the Stockyards relocated in 1903 the Great Fire of 1904 destroyed a large amount of industry in the downtown Some of the companies moved west along King Street some as far west as Dufferin Street; where the large Massey-Harris farm equipment manufacturing complex was located. Over time pockets of industrial land mostly followed rail lines and later highway corridors as the city grew outwards This trend continues to this day the largest factories and distribution warehouses are in the suburban environs of Peel and York Regions; but also within the current city: Etobicoke (concentrated around Pearson Airport) North York and Scarborough The West Don Lands is one of many former industrial sites in the downtown area that has undergone redevelopment Many of Toronto's former industrial sites close to (or in) Downtown have been redeveloped including parts of the Toronto waterfront the rail yards west of downtown and Liberty Village the Massey-Harris district and large-scale development is underway in the West Don Lands the Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced spirits until 1990 and is preserved today as the "Distillery District," the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America. Some industry remains in the area including the Redpath Sugar Refinery Similar areas that retain their industrial character but are now largely residential are the Fashion District Corktown and parts of South Riverdale and Leslieville Toronto still has some active older industrial areas such as Brockton Village Mimico and New Toronto in the west end of Old Toronto and York the Weston/Mount Dennis and the Junction areas still contain factories meat-packing facilities and rail yards close to medium-density residential although the Junction's Union Stockyards moved out of Toronto in 1994 The "brownfield" industrial area of the Port Lands on the east side of the harbour is one area planned for redevelopment. Formerly a marsh that was filled in to create industrial space it was never intensely developed its land unsuitable for large-scale development because of flooding and unstable soil it still contains numerous industrial uses such as the Portlands Energy Centre power plant some port facilities some movie and TV production studios a concrete processing facility and various low-density industrial facilities the Waterfront Toronto agency has developed plans for a naturalized mouth to the Don River and to create a flood barrier around the Don making more of the land on the harbour suitable for higher-value residential and commercial development a former chemicals plant site along the Don River is slated to become a large commercial complex and transportation hub Public spaces. 7 Administrator Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory, See also: List of colleges in Ontario and List of universities in Ontario, 2000 November 22 2008 October 15 2016 5 UN co-ordination role!
